30 Days of Mental Skills

Welcome to 30 Days of Mental Skills, where I’m breaking down the 9 core psychological skills of peak performers. Each day, I post a new video discussing a key aspect, including Mindset, Motivation, Goal Setting, People Skills, Self-Talk, Mental Imagery, Managing Stress, Emotional Agility, and focus and attention. This material is adapted from my lectures on the Performance Psychology module, which I taught to undergraduate students. Be sure to check out Essential Mental Skills to find out more.

First up is the intro. I explain what 30 Days of Mental Skills is all about. Then, as you’ll see below, I have broken down the mini lectures according to where they belong within the 9 Mental Skills of Peak Performance.
